Answer:

Approximately 1% of the Earth's radius is represented by the crust.

Explanation:

Earth is composed of three different layers with different compositions-

The first layer of the earth is the Earth's crust which is brittle and very thin.

The other layers or shells are mantle and the core. These two layers have almost same thickness but the mantle occupies the larger volume of about 84% while the core occupies about 15% of the total volume.

Therefore, crust represents about only 1% of Earth's radius.

Answer:

Induced emf, $\epsilon=-A\dfrac{B_{max}e^{-t/\tau}}{\tau}$

Explanation:

The varying magnetic field with time t is given by according to equation as :

$B=B_{max}e^{-t/\tau}$

Where

$B_{max}\ and\ t$ are constant

Let $\epsilon$ is the emf induced in the loop as a function of time. We know that the rate of change of magnetic flux is equal to the induced emf as:

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}$

$\epsilon=-A\dfrac{d(B)}{dt}$

$\epsilon=-A\dfrac{d(B_{max}e^{-t/\tau})}{dt}$

$\epsilon=A\dfrac{B_{max}e^{-t/\tau}}{\tau}$

So, the induced emf in the loop as a function of time is $A\dfrac{B_{max}e^{-t/\tau}}{\tau}$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A spring is compressed 0.035 m inside a dart gun. (K=500 N/m). The spring has elastic energy. Calculate it.

NARA [144]

The elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.31 J

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by

$E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where

k is the spring constant

x is the compression/stretching of the spring

For the spring in this problem, we have:

k = 500 N/m (spring constant)

x = 0.035 m (compression)

Substituting, we find the elastic potential energy:

$E=\frac{1}{2}(500)(0.035)^2=0.31 J$

You are on a Parkour course. First you climb a angled wall up 9.5 meters. They you shimmy along the edge of a 3.5 meter long wal

makvit [3.9K]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance covered = (9.5m + 3.5m + 15m) = 28 meters

Time to cover the distance = 43 seconds

Average speed = (28 meters) / (43 seconds)

Average speed = 0.65 meters/second
